You can't reverse the checks, but you can whitelist addresses in Postfix. I use the check_client_access to allow certain domains/ips to send mail although they appear in RBL's. Just put them in the access-file with 'OK' on the end of the line. You can do the same with check_sender_access. And make sure this check is done before the RBL checks, like: smtpd_recipient_restrictions = reject_non_fqdn_sender, reject_non_fqdn_recipient, permit_mynetworks, reject_unauth_destination, check_client_access hash:/etc/postfix/client_access, check_helo_access hash:/etc/postfix/helo_access, check_sender_access hash:/etc/postfix/sender_access, reject_rbl_client dynablock.njabl.org, reject_rbl_client dul.dnsbl.sorbs.net, reject_rbl_client cbl.abuseat.org Regards Menno van Bennekom
